THOUGHTS ON THE CONFERENCE:
Overall the NAC is extremely competitive. All but one team that made the playoffs in 2023 was in the second round (WF & Wakefield played each other in Round 1). Wake Forest will still be very good, Heritage is on the rise and Wakefield has talent. Rolesville has 2 good starting arms that can beat anyone. The depth of pitching throughout the conference gives every team a chance to make a run.
